About this church

St. John’s Lutheran Church in Frankenmuth holds Sunday Divine Service at 10:00 a.m., preceded by Bible study and Sunday School at 9:00. A Tuesday Bible study meets at 10:30 a.m., and Lenten and Advent services are scheduled at 6:00 p.m. Sunday worship normally lasts 50 to 70 minutes, including a 15- to 20-minute sermon, Scripture readings, congregational music, and a printed service folder. Dress ranges from jeans and running shoes to suits, and families are encouraged to worship together; an adjacent nursery is available when a young child needs a break.

The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and emphasizes Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and Bible teaching. Visitors are asked to speak with the pastor before receiving Communion, reflecting the parish’s practice of instructed participation. Christian education serves children ages four through twelve on Sundays, with additional advanced instruction and adult study. St. John’s also hosts a homeschool group, summer Vacation Bible School, and a community fall festival. Its official history connects the church with the German Lutheran story of Frankenmuth and notes that the parish joined the ELS in 2007.
